Discovery of A Mg II Changing-look AGN and its Implications for a Unification Sequence of Changing-look AGNs
Hengxiao Guo, Mouyuan Sun, Xin Liu +5
Changing-Look (CL) is a rare phenomenon of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) that exhibit emerging or disappearing broad lines accompanied by continuum variations on astrophysically sh…

Understanding Broad Mg II Variability in Quasars with Photoionization: Implications for Reverberation Mapping and Changing-Look Quasars
Hengxiao Guo, Yue Shen, Zhicheng He +7
The broad Mg II line in quasars has distinct variability properties compared with broad Balmer lines: it is less variable, and usually does not display a "breathing" mode, the incr…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Low-Ionization Broad-Line Widths and Implications for Virial Black Hole Mass Estimation
Shu Wang, Yue Shen, Linhua Jiang +8
The width of the broad emission lines in quasars is commonly characterized either by the full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) or the square root of the second moment of the line profi…
